You can play around with the angle Latex Code:

\def\angle{50}

by changing the number. Everything is built off of this angle so the picture will adjust as you change it.

Additionally, you can play around with these parameters (below):
Latex Code:

\def\circradius{.35} \def\a{1.15}
As you adjust your angle, the hyperbola will be shorten or lengthened depending on your adjustment. You can increase or decrease by adjusting Latex Code:

domain = 0:3

in the code below.
Latex Code:

draw[red, -latex] plot[domain = 0:3, samples = 100] ({\x}, {\a * sqrt(1 + (\x / \b)^2)}) node[font = \tiny, above, black] {\(\mathbf{v}_{\infty}\)};
You only need to adjust the 3. Lower will shorten the hyperbola and higher will lengthen it. If you remove 0 and add the negative symmetric value, you will plot the whole portion of this piece of the hyperbola.

This is one is if you are being overtaken by the planet. It also incorporates a capture orbits and the turn angle delta.

With the previous two, we need to take off parallel to the asymptote and arrive parallel to the asymptote. In this case, we are doing a planetary flyby so we can come in from any angle. With less restrictions, we can automate more process in the \(\LaTeX\) code such as find the asymptotes. Also, we have the components of the velocity vectors built off the the incoming and outgoing paths.

Becareful with the \alpha_2 node. I had to hard code that arc and node in so it will not adjust. I couldn't find a clever way to automate that so it will adjust when the picture is changed. Maybe someone else can think of a way to do this.
